Impression 2 to PDF

[Simple153]

I work for a house developer. We colour or site plans using Impression 2. When we have to send these to our printers they want them in PDF. When we convert from Impression 2 to PDF the file size increases in size quite dramatically to keep the quality suitable for printing. Our printers say the quality is fine but the file size is too large.

 

Any ideas how to keep the quality but reduce file

 

Cheers

Yes. Optimize your PDF file size with a PDF compression utility. Should be able to dramatically reduce the file size without affecting quality.

ask them if they can accept 'dwf'. tell them about dwf viewer & its free. dwf has file size lot smaller comapre to pdf

The various PDF conversion printers differn in output file size quite drastically; which one are you using?

 

The Autodesk PDF seems to be more unsympathetic than most.

Luratech.com has a program called LuraDocument, a PDF compressor. Free trial available.

 

cvisiontech.com has a program called pdfcompressor. Free trial available.

 

And BureauSoft has a freeware program called PDF Compress.

 

Maybe you could try "zipping" the file using WinZip or pkZip.

How big are you .irf files? I made a real quick one at 676k and made a 300 DPI PDF and it was only 420k. I did Acrobat full though.
